What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.
If you don't have the .git/ folder (tarball, distros repositories...), there is no version show in title bar (only Dolphin []) and in help-->about.
What did you expect to happen instead?
At least it should give you "4.0-Git" or something else.
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on?

There is no sane way to do this without relying on git.

For what it's worth, the "At least it should give you "4.0-Git" or something else" part of the issue report was implemented in https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/commit/bae4f2c7dbaf7666d1f0cd52e88c9982ba1ca8e5. You'll get a version string like "5.0 (no further info)" if you build without a .git folder.
